  Quaint turret scene, cross the roof, eaves and three, polygonal cross, large wooden frame and brackets are very complex. After careful measurement and research concerned only realize wonderful law which reflects the extraordinary working people in ancient China wisdom. now the northwest corner of the Forbidden City through the building after renovation, has a new look. color harmony, yellow glazed tile roof and gilt Health ding light blinking in the sunlight, _set_ off by blue sky and white clouds, become increasingly solemn and beautiful.
  Palace of the four corner of the city, one at each corner there is a nine-eighth column seventy-two ridge beam turrets, built to look good. This is how the four corner brush cover it? Beijing has such a legend -
  Yan Wang Ming Zhu Di Emperor Yongle made in Nanjing after the princes as he did when Beijing is an old place, wanted to move the capital Beijing, so he sent a trusted minister to Beijing to cover the Royal Palace. Zhu Di, told the minister: the external walls in the palace - the Forbidden City, the four horns on the cover looks very beautiful four turrets, each turret seat eighteen beams have nine columns, seventy-two ridge. And said: "You minister to do the pipe work it, if the repair cover to behead the poor!" Foreman Minister after leading the emperor's decree, and my heart is very sad, I do not know how to cover the nine beams eighth column, seventy-two ridge turret.
  Foreman minister to Beijing after the contractor took eighty-one large wood factory foreman, a carpenter who to call, tell them that the emperor's will, the deadline for three months, that they must be built into the schedule look like these four strange turret, and said: "If the cap fails, the emperor of natural kill my head, but did not kill me in the head before I cut your head first, so watch out your head." foremen and carpenters are on the way no grasp of the project, had often a pondering another way.
  Three-month period is very short, a flash is a month, the foreman and carpenters who have not come up with a clue, a little way, they have done a lot of like type, are inappropriate. This time, are catching up with June and July of dog day weather, hot people to breathe, with heart trouble for the foreman and carpenters are also inappropriate to really sit, lie down nor appropriate. So a master carpenter, it could not stay to leisure stroll on the streets to go.
  I walked, I heard all the way to the noisy sounds coming from a grasshopper, and then, and I heard a yell: "Buy Grasshopper, listening to told them, could not sleep, relief of boredom children go!" Closer, is an old man children lug Grasshopper compiled many large and small Shujie cage, in the street selling. Which has a small stick _insert_ed in the Grasshopper Shujie cage, takes a picture inside the compact as a pavilion, inside filled with a few Grasshopper, master carpenter would like: because it is worrying you, damn not live, buy a nice cage, also interesting to look at children, so he bought it.
  Grasshopper cage carrying the carpenter, returned to the site. Everybody looked up on the racket: "People are strange heart trouble, how did you come to buy a cricket cage, how a person is intentionally noisy?" Carpenter said with a smile: "Solutions for a stuffy child you can not sleep right, you Look ... ... "You see that his original cage to say how fabulous it! But he has not come out the mouth, to feel that the cage a little bit special. He quickly Bai Zhaoshou said: "You Do not noisy before, let me count to say." He put the cage Grasshopper beam ah, columns, ah, ah ridge and makes a number over and over again, everyone is the number of his also attracted to stay in God, quietly straight eye, a sound was heard.
  Number of carpenter finished katydid cage, jumped up Yipaitaitui said: "This is not exactly nine beams eighth spinal column seventy-two it?" Everyone one is happy, the count took the cage, the cage that also took the number of number, said: "It's nine beams eighth column, seventy-two ridge of the pavilion, ah,"
  When we were inspired by the cage, wondering out of the turret looks like the Forbidden City, hot out of the pulp to make like type, and finally repair has become the corner now there embrace.
